Kohaku Samejima works as a resident doctor at Usagi Children's Hospital. He aspired to become a pediatrician because he wanted to make children smile, but the children's hospital is full of crying faces everywhere. Naturally, the hospital prioritizes the future smiles of children who will be cured, not the present while they are undergoing treatment. Samejima, who still cannot give up on the "smiles of today" of children in such a field, meets Shio Tokita, a child life specialist (CLS) who specializes in the care of children's mental health.

During their second-year sports festival, Nishizaki found himself drawn to Nagano, whose unexpected coolness caught his eye. Intrigued, Nishizaki tried to get Nagano’s attention, but the more his usual tactics failed, the more frustrated—and serious—he became about pursuing him. By the time he managed to win Nagano over, Nishizaki’s own interest had waned, and their fleeting romance came to an abrupt end. Yet, their story didn’t end with high school. Years later, fate brings them back together, forcing them to confront old feelings and navigate a complicated dynamic shaped by their changed circumstances.

Michihiko witnesses an incident in a classroom late at night. Since then, the thug Shinji has been hanging around the school area to investigate the incident. A frail honor student and a small-time gangster – two people of very different ages and backgrounds, but when they get to know each other, a strange friendship somehow blossoms, and Shinji’s presence becomes the only comfort for Michihiko’s immature mind and body. This novel depicts the span of nine years from the time they meet. (Source: Libre, translated)
